ol' missouri town days

Missouri Town 1855 is my favorite fall festival. One of those festivals you attend yearly, know exactly what food stand you are purchasing lunch from, the jelly samples that are the most delicious, the wool that is the softest, the general store that sells the candy, and which room in the various houses is the prettiest. Ever since reading the Little House on the Prairie books when I was younger, these times have always been fascinating to me. I love the women baking inside one of the historical houses. I love the weavers of wool in the crafts area. I love the homemade taters and the warm apple cider over a fire. This festival is always the start to the changing of the leaves and colder weather for me.

It's still so crazy to me I've had this blog for over a year, because I posted some photographs of Missouri Town last year, here. Although it was quite a bit colder last year, so much of this day was similar (I was house sitting also, still have the same colored hair, almost wore the same hat...) Though I stand firmly on being ever-changing, I do love the constant pace of things... and of course, festivals.

I absolutely love events like these! I remember when I was in elementary school and we took a trip to some little village park area and they showed us how people live back in the olden days and I couldn't get enough of it! Then when I was 14 I went to Gettysburg for the first time and I fell in love! I really wanted to go back this fall, but since the Government shutdown the battlegrounds are closed down :/ Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog! I love your blog and followed your lovely self!

What a fun Fall tradition :) Your outfit is perfect for the location. I'm so jealous of your mustard tights - I bought some a while ago but the weather has not cooled down enough for me to wear them yet.

Oh, I've always loved those times. Little House on the Prairie was a favorite of mine growing up and still is! I like your bit on change, too--it's nice to have some constance in our constantly changing lives...

That looks like SO much fun! I'm in Missouri too (St Charles) and I love this time of year because they always have the best festivals and I get to bust out my capes and sweaters. I love the note from the Bison! :P
